Hi,

You do not need to remove the panels. But, if you did, you'd only need a philips screwdriver and a little dexterity. It's a pretty easy procedure.

If changing plugs, consider replacing the Spark Plug tube seals while you're at it. They're cheap and have been redesigned since your Car was built.

Personally, I'd have them on hand because you won't necessarily know if the existing ones are leaky until you get in there. If you already have them on hand, it's a piece of cake. If not, you either have to wait to complete the job, or start all over again when the parts arrive.

If it turns out you don't need them, save them for the next time...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
